Italiano: “Olympiacos is a quality team – Let’s take advantage of the opportunity and bring the trophy to Florence”

After losing in Verona and qualifying for his grand final European Conference Leaguethe Fiorentina returned to winning ways in Serie A, beating Monza 2-1 at “Artemio Franki” for the 36th matchday of Serie A.

At the end of the match, the coach of the “viola”, Vincenzo Italiano, spoke about the situation of his team, but also the upcoming “battle” at the OPAP Arena with Olympiakos, even praising the “red and whites”.

Analytically:

“We have to be determined and focused, in a few days we have a very important game against Olympiakos and we have to arrive with enthusiasm. In these cases, fatigue is also overlooked. Some players are tired, it gets very tiring to play every three days, but we manage everyone’s energy well. We’re doing well, we’re playing with enthusiasm and we’re achieving what we’re trying to do.” the Italian coach initially reported.

Then he spoke about Olympiakos, emphasizing: “I saw Olympiakos in the return semi-final. They are a strong, aggressive team. Having beaten Aston Villa twice means they have quality, they have a centre-forward who scores a lot. He can also retreat and come out effectively on the counter attack.

It won’t be at their home ground, but we’ll be in their city, so you can imagine the atmosphere we’ll be getting into. This is the second Conference League final in a row, we want to make the most of the lessons learned from last season’s experience as this is a great opportunity to bring a trophy to Florence.”
